The Infertile Luna’s Revenge and the Alpha’s Regret - Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Years had passed, and peace reigned in the Shadow Pack‘ s territory. The battle with the Rogue King was long behind them, a distant memory overshadowed by the happiness that had since filled Logan and Amelia’s lives.
Amelia smiled as she cradled her daughter, her heart swelling with love and gratitude. The little girl, only three years old, had inherited her parents‘ best traits— Logan’s commanding presence and Amelia‘ s striking eyes, shimmering with the telltale glow of the Rising Moon bloodline.
“Ready to go, love?” Logan’s deep voice broke her reverie. He stood by the door, holding a bouquet of lilies. His gaze softened as it landed on Amelia and their daughter.
“Almost,” Amelia replied, brushing a hand over her daughter’s dark curls.
“Let’s go visit Grandma and Grandpa.”
Their journey was serene, the sun shining warmly overhead as they arrived at the hill where Amelia’s parents rested. It was a quiet, beautiful spot surrounded by wildflowers and the soft rustle of trees. Amelia approached the grave, her steps. slow and reverent, her emotions rising as she knelt before the stone markers.
With their daughter nestled in her arms, she began to speak. “Mom… Dad… I’ve missed you so much.” Her voice trembled, tears slipping down her cheeks. “Life hasn’t been easy, but I made it. I have a family now, a sweet little girl. Her name is Liana.” She glanced down at the giggling child, who waved her tiny hand at the gravestones.
“Hi, Grandma! Hi, Grandpa!” Liana chirped, her voice bright. Amelia let out a tearful laugh, her fingers tracing the carved names on the stones.
“She‘ s special, just like you always told me I was. She carries the Rising Moon bloodline, but unlike me, she doesn’t have to hide. Logan and I have made sure she’ll grow up safe and loved. You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m happy, truly happy.”
Logan stepped closer, resting a reassuring hand on Amelia’s shoulder. “They’d be proud of you, Amelia. Of the woman, the mate, the mother you’ve become.”
Amelia looked up at him, her tears now mixed with a smile. “I know. And you’re the best husband and mate there is, my love.”
Their daughter squirmed in Amelia‘ s arms, her wide silver eyes glimmering mischievously. “Play hide and seek?”
Logan chuckled. “Liana, we’re here to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We’ll play later, okay?”
But before he finished speaking, Liana giggled and vanished in a shimmering burst of light.
“She teleported again!” Logan groaned, shaking his head with a grin. Amelia stood, her motherly instincts already scanning the surroundings.
“Liana, where are you?”
“Here!” Liana’s voice rang out from the treetops. They looked up, spotting her perched on a low branch, swinging her legs with glee.
Logan sighed, pretending to be stern.
“You little troublemaker, you‘ re going to give your dad a heart attack one of these days.”
Amelia laughed, her heart feeling lighter than it had in years. “She’s your daughter, Logan. The trouble comes from you.”
“Debatable,” Logan teased as he reached up to pluck Liana from the branch. But before he could, she teleported again, appearing behind Amelia this time.
“Caught you, Mama!” Liana declared, wrapping her tiny arms around Amelia‘ s legs.
“Caught me? I’m supposed to be catching you!” Amelia said, scooping her up and tickling her sides. Liana squealed with laughter, her bright joy echoing through the clearing.
The three of them returned to the graveside, settling into a moment of peace. Amelia placed the lilies on the stone, her heart full. “Thank you for watching over me, Mom and Dad. I’ll keep protecting Liana, just like you protected me. I’ll make sure she grows up knowing love, not fear.”
Logan wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. “Don’t worry, hun. You‘ re doing a wonderful job already.”
Meanwhile, Liana, now nestled between them, clapped her hands. “Family forever!”
Amelia and Logan exchanged a look, their hearts swelling with pride and love. With Liana’s laughter filling the air, they knew they would do everything to keep the peace within their pack, within their family.
As they walked back down the hill, the sun setting in a blaze of gold and crimson, Amelia felt a sense of closure. Her parents might not be physically present, but their legacy lived on–in her, in Liana, and in the life she’d built with Logan.

This was a really good story. I was impressed with the flow of the storyline. The author did a great job with characters and redemption arcs. The female lead was not your typical weak child but a strong woman. This was very good.
